I think seashells needs to be changed from the pets and animals category/ section - the creature that lives in the shell is possibly a contender for that description. However, an empty seashell is neither a pet or an animal once the creature has vacated it.

I totally agree with you here.

The category under marine life should be "mollusks", but it's "molluscs" in the UK I believe. But that is closer as it is the name of the animal.

I guess I'd like to see seashells in the hobbies category instead of having to choose "other collections".

Categories are the bane of my life, for the very reason that you have encountered today. So many of mine could go in multiple categories or, worse still, there's no obvious fit.

The amount of times I've been tempted to go to the suggestion forum with a request for a category that reads: 'Stuff Jo Wants to Write About Today'.

However, I've calmed down considerably over the dilemma anxiety, when I realised that you can keep moving them around. It doesn't affect your URL, as that remains the same wherever it is. I try articles out in various places, then shift them if it's not working/I change my mind.

I moved one yesterday that was written eight months ago and is currently in its third home.

I'm going with 4, by the way. For the sole reason that it says 'seashells'. :)
